There is no new thing under the sun.

Look at the date in each picture.

Where’s the reference? Where’s the acknowledgment? Where is the citation link?

Disgusting plagiarists.

[la-hannya]

Man, If this ain't like Sunrise's last ditch effort to fuck over Inukag's love child again I dunno what is. Everytime this thing drops on the TL you can find more stupidity with it from even one pic .

(Pedosawa still has credits in the manga version even if they be acting like he doesn't exist after all the problems, and it's all "just Shiina". When this is his original script after all and Shiina is adapting it with "his ideas" so he clearly ain't just small talking to RT).

Cause ok, what do you mean that Moroha, the child that's quarter dog demon, that acts more like a dog than her cousins and has spiritual powers like mother can't see a dog kami spirit too?

Or is it because the Sessh side of the family via Sessmom has the "diViNe PrOVIDenCe" cause Toga was just like some general yokai?

ACTUALLY, that's probably it in this doujin cause that's exactly what the Crescent moon on Akuru's big ass ugly forehead implies LMAO. Yes, cardboardmaru is descended from this weird looking child like kami. Lol once again

I swear more evidence that as much as they cry or Shiina says she "supervises" it seems Rumiko doesn't really look at it at all. There's just not any real writing consistency or research the further you analyze this thing. NOT that Rumiko didn't ass pull, she admitted that a couple of times, and you can find it in Furinkan. (But at least the original series wasn't randomly nonsensical as THIS)

Like why also does a Japanese Kami speak in "Egyptian hieroglyphics" instead of something like the very early/ancient Japanese runic writing system of "Woshite" or to better ask... Why would they even put that to represent a language in feudal era Japan that characters don't understand? 😅😂

It's like when they tried to LUMP "Akuma" (western demons/devils) and "Yōkai" in the anime version of this thing, when one Google search will tell you they're completely different beings from eachother despite similarities, PLUS putting freaking Christianity too by talking about the fruit and showing King freaking Solomon. Wat.

"But it's fiction :B" yes, but said fiction had an original series to keep consistency to access right there and they can't even do that right. Shit is a glorified DOUJIN. Bye. Rant over.

[haiquye]

This is not ancient Japan. Nor are we beasts.

[thequestioning-maiden]

My father has worked for the DoD since the mid 90s, and most animes that get network time slots in the US have funding from them. It's why most animes that get that kind of release in the US are fighting/militaristic animes. (The first one he told me he helped with was the Gundam Wing dub.) I'm messaging you this information because Yashahime ticks all the boxes for a series they would've funded. The main one is Sesshomaru and Rin's relationship. They push age gap relationships in media when women's and children's right activism starts to get more attention. When they have more rights, women are less likely to get married and have children, while the children who are born have more stable homes and family finances, which makes them less likely to join the military. There was more than just the SessRin relationship. The entire series was nothing but propaganda poorly glued together. (Especially the end when they discussed children being on a battlefield, that scene was so obvious.) I've been wanting to reach out and share this for a while, but I honestly wasn't sure anyone would believe me. With the public becoming more knowledgeable about government and military propaganda in the last few months, I think people are ready for it.

Thank you very much for sending this to me, anon. I want you to know that I believe you.

Many people - not just antis - have said over and over again that fiction does affect reality. Of course fiction is used to promote certain agendas, of course fiction is used to promote certain values, certain relationships , certain situations, - both for good and for bad. Whoever knows about marketing won't let me lie, fiction is used both to generate rejection and acceptance and desire for particular things. Perhaps we would do well to ask ourselves why certain shows, certain books, certain music, certain movies or fiction-in any format, not just anime-receive budget and others do not. Come on, there are even studies and articles about this. It's 2024, people who insist that fiction does not affect reality aren't in reality themselves to begin with.

So Anon, thanks again for your ask, and if you like to send more information about this, it's welcome here :)

Is there a SessKagu chatting group or anything like that that I can join?

【Translation】 Narita’s Paradox and the Official Publicity of SessKagu

Information from three Weibo posts (see in article).

It seems rather paradoxical that Ken Narita first indicated that he felt Sesshomaru was and might only be compassionate toward Kagura, then disclosed that he struggled to properly interpret Sesshomaru’s love for Kagura while acting, in the very same conversation. (https://m.weibo.cn/status/4840906711107187). It sounds like Sesshomaru loved and did not love Kagura at the same time.

The reason is when Narita mentioned Sesshomaru’s compassion, he was talking about his own opinion toward Sesshomaru the character, whereas when he played his role, he was acting as Sesshomaru himself. Narita as a Sess fan likes the idea of Sesshomaru being alone, with slight tend to see him and Kagura together. When it comes to the anime he voice-acts Sesshomaru in, in the mentioned scene, the character Sesshomaru holds love for Kagura, and that is nothing Narita can or will change. To put it simple, it is Narita’s personal opinion that Sesshomaru at least sympathies with Kagura, but it was the canon plot that there was love from him to her.

 Yes, it was in the official publicity that Sesshomaru and Kagura were a couple in romantic sense, just as the other canon CPs – Miroku and Sango, our hero and heroine (https://m.weibo.cn/status/4840929313167896). Before and during the running of Inuyasha Final Acts, SessKagu always appeared CP in the advertisement. That was why in the famous Yamaguchi-Narita interview they admitted that Sesshomaru loves Kagura. We can still find those official placards showing Sesshomaru and Kagura were in love with each other. (https://m.weibo.cn/status/4840914579886076)

(Text in the right page:

Consist of these!

Tinge of romantic love, helping others, fighting, ridicle, TV series

Following the previous series, with cross and complex relationships, this time there is the feast of fight between those sometimes friends , sometimes enemies again! Moreover, the tinge of love and desire has reached the outcome…? A must – watch for fans!

Sesshomaru

The half-brother of Inuyasha, Travelling with Jaken and the human child Rin (the word “child” is “girl” in Japanese, but that Japanese word only refers to little girls, so I chose child to express it better.) for his own purposes. Seems to care about Kagura in Naruku’s side very much!

Sesshomaru journeys further in quest of his self. In the beginning of Final Acts, his relationship with Kagura is specially featured.

Besides, Inuyasha’s charm lies in the portrayal of each character’s feeling. Miruku and Sango, Sesshomaru and Kagura, and Inuyasha & Kagome/Kikyou, how each pair will feel and go. Stay tuned!)

(I hate the grammar here. I’m not joking. Please pay attention to your sentences even if you’re advertising! )

[moonandwind]

Thank you so much! 👀 I had found those magazine scans on weibo and I wanted to know so much what the translation was!

[haiquye]

Next time just message or @ me! Without someone hastening me I’ll procrastinate for ever.

[artaith-21]

You know what? No. I’m not going to bother blurring out your name. My experience is invalid because it wasn’t Sesshomaru that touched me.

These are the shippers guys. Right here.

[artaith-21]

I normally don’t make posts like this since I keep my blog strictly for art reshares and posts, but this in a way relates to art.

I feel like something precious was stolen from me today. My third year of Animation school in 2001, a friend gave me a VHS tape of the first 17 episodes of Inuyasha with fan-subtitles. I was in a deep depression at the time due to lots of personal issues and stress with school, and ‘Inuyasha’ lit up my life. I watched that tape over and over again. When new episodes premiered on Japanese television, I eagerly awaited for the fansubs to be uploaded to translation sites. When the series caught up to the manga, I went into Japan town and bought the newest issue of the manga as it was being published and would spend a week with a Japanese > English dictionary trying to read it. It was my world.

Today, Sunrise has made the terrible choice of having Sesshoumaru impregnate the girl he fed and clothed between the ages of 8 and 11. Even worse, at age 14.

Words cannot describe the devestation I feel. I am a child abuse victim and of course, that plays a large part in why it was so triggering. But also, I feel like the original franchise will be forever marred by this. It has been stolen from me. The thing that once made me happy- that pulled me away from self-destructive habits like self-harm. And as an artist, being able to draw cute images of child Rin with Sesshoumaru has been stolen from me as well. For even if I denounce this sequel and claim it not canon, I can never draw a cute image of Rin and her ward again without the terrible implications- without it simply being ‘Sesshoumaru and his future child-bride’.

I feel cheated.

[arwyen-nyx]

…Kohaku supports SessRin?

DISGUSTING

I will forever be a Kohaku/Rin shipper because I don’t ship father-figures with their daughter-figures. And in this case, Sesshoumaru was/is absolutely Rin’s father-figure.

[haiquye]

And Rin literally ran after Kohaku from when she was a little kid. She was willing to lie to Sesshomaru, or to be honest to him, in order to protect Kohaku. She was able to tell him her deepest thoughts and fear at first sight, though he was actually her kidnapper to good sense. She questioned Sesshomaru’s teaming up with Naruku without hesitation, condemning Naruku for wanting to murder Kohaku. Many crazy people desire to have the body of any female to sedure Sesshomaru, but the sweet little girl always has her young boy in her mind and heart. 

[perfectionistkilling-me]

Sesshoumaru Shipping Rant

I feel like the Sess/Rib stuff and general OOCness of Sesshoumaru is a product of fandom attitude I've never understood.

I've only recently realized a lot of people who liked sesshoumaru liked the idea of him being "soft and protective" for just one person.

For me Sesshoumaru's appeal has always been that's he's cold, has his own stuff going on and can handle that on his own.

Maybe that's why I've always shipped him with Naraku, Kagura, Byakuya or even Touran. Relationships where either one of them could fuck off to the mainland for 3 months and the feelings would be exactly the same when they met again.

Basically "wait, people want the cold guy to stop being cold. I was here for the 2 and a half emotions and 1 good conversation a month"

[haiquye]

To me, it’s simply disgusting how some people say someone who is okay to only one other creature is kind, nice or even generous or noble. Most of those who claim it’s good just dream of themselves to be the only “different” one to a powerful existance and they try to justify it by saying that he is actually quite nice for being to some other. 

[moonandwind]

Anyone who knows Japanese, could you translate this page, please? 🙏

This chapter is the first part of when Sesshomaru looses his control for Kagura.

The title 怒火 is translated as “raging fire” by Google Translator but I can’t translate the rest. 🥺

[haiquye]

I don’t know Japanese but thankfully there are enough Chinese characters (and help from those who know) for me to read it.

This sentance means “how dare anyone insult the noble and pure soul” or “won’t let anyone taint that noble and pure soul”. Sesshmaru literally uses adjectives meaning holy, noble, morally untainted, of uncorrupted virtue, lofty and proud to describe Kagure’s soul. 

Do you think that’s some Mary Sue fiction, Sesshomaru?

In Chinese, there is a famous quotation “冲冠一怒为红颜” that describes THIS Sesshomaru perfectly.

[nezumixshionn]

you don’t understand.. i ship them so much

[haiquye]

Rin: So do I! I don’t understand!

[sesshmom]

I am gonna be that person.

I really think Sesshoumaru's family story would have been more interesting if he had sons instead of daughters. Sesshoumaru himself has always dealt with daddy issues, between wanting to be as powerful as his pop and hating his decisions, Sessh had a lot to think about back then.

Now he'd have to walk in his father's boots essentually. With two boys that both look up to and want to emulate him as boys tend to do with their fathers. Sesshoumaru would be fundimentally facing all his flaws while seeing the same challenges he'd had with his own brother playing out from the other side.

It would have been an anime redition of The Cat's in the Cradle By Harry Chapin.

Of course this would require some decent writing and character development. Something Sumisawa is incapable of.

Such a missed oppertunity.

[stecesworld]

Okay, I am furious, this is the the most angry I have ever been at an anime show ever. I never thought I would hate an anime show as much as I despise yashahime.

As you all know for this who have been reading my blog. I have openly stated that I love Rin. I love her, I think Rin was adorable, funny, and so full of life and potential. True she needed rescuing constantly, but she was brave, caring and truly thought about others and genuinely wished to help people. Even those considered enimes at the time. Such as Kohaku and Kagura. Everytime I saw Rin, I smiled and was excited to see what the head strong, kind hearted little bean would do. She gave me little sister vibes. When Inuyasha ended I found myself wishing there was a next generation so that I could see what became of Rin.

Now after this last episode of yashahime I looked on the tag to see the latest news about this newest episode and let me tell you. The amount of Rage screaming I had going on inside my head while I watched/read the scene with Rin and her daughters was defending. My last post Justice For Rin was the only thing I was able to say at the time because the rest of my thoughts was nothing but incoherent screaming and ranting that I couldn't put together.

Now that I am calmer I have to say.

To those who claim to love Rin, who claim to be huge Rin Stan's. Yet love Yashahime should all be ashamed of yourselves. You should all be furious, you all should be raging, pissed about how this dumpster fire of a story has Ruined her. You all should be cursing the names of sunrise and the bastards who wrote this story.

Now I am not talking about SessRin. I hate that ship but I was willing to give it a chance. Maybe it could have been something. I don't care about your preference on that ship so please don't come on this post to defend it because this is not about that.

This post is strictly about Rin. As a character, as a mother, as an everything. Not about her and Sesshomaru. Not about her and her daughters. Just, her.

How can any of you who loved that little girl from the orginal anime or read about her in the manga watch this garbage and what it did to her and think this is okay!? Was this truly what you wanted for her? Was this really the future you wished for her!? Was this honestly what you saw in your mind for her!? If your a shipper, is this how you had hopped she would be treated by the man she loved? If your not a shipper but a Rin Stan. Is this how you pictured she would be treated by all those who were meant to be her friends and family? Seriously?! How can you all who claim to love this little girl as a chara just sit there and praise this Bull Shit of a story!?

Look at what they have done to Rin!!!

Look at her!! How can anyone watch this show and smile and say. "Yep this is exactly how I wanted this to happen." How can you make excuses for the people who have tarnished, and tainted that innocent little girl!? "Oh it's historically accurate." Bullshit! You all know it's not stop claiming it is! "Oh it's the culture all women that time act like that and are subservient" Fuck you! Why are you making that excuse?! Sango doesn't act like that and she's from that time! Geninji's mother didn't act like that and she's from that time! Sesshomaru's mother doesn't act like that and she's from that time! Even Iziyoi who was the softest of all the women I just mentioned didn't act like that. True we only saw her briefly, but you were able to see that she was a kind hearted princess that when she commanded someone they listened. The only one who didn't was that ass hat who killed Toga.

What about the girls now? Setsuna, Towa and Moroha. Are you all seriously telling me that when these girls get together with thier appointed love interests that you want to see the same thing happen to them that has happen to Rin!? If that is how thier culture is meant to be then you have all Damned those three young women to that same fate! Do you all seriously see those three girls acting the same way Rin is acting right now!? Now I know some of you are going to be like. " Well of course Towa won't act like that she was raised in the modern age. She has modern ideals and morals." So what about Setsuna!? She was raise in the feudal age. What about Moroha she is a young woman of the feudal age. Do you honestly think they would act like that? No! You all would be furious!

So why are you okay with Rin!?

Why is Rin okay to be shat on? Why are you allowing this to happen to her when all the other women on this anime are not!? Why are you all excusing this!? Why is this okay!?

Think about it everyone please! Even if at the end of the series everyone gets a so called "Happy ending" and Rin is reunited with her daughters and her husband and is smiling and hugs them close and it's all butterflies and rainbows. Rin still won't have a true happy ending. She will still be the worthless, subservient, meaningless husk of a woman. Who's only purpose in life is to be a baby factory! Please I beg all those who say you love Rin open your eyes and see what has happened to her! Be furious, be angry, show everyone how much you love her by opening your mouth and screaming

"This is not Okay!!"

Rin deserves better! Justice For Rin! Rin's new life! Fuck you sunrise!

[mob-sama-deactivated20231030]

shitrise/shippers: “but she was 18 years old!”

shitrise:

it doesn’t feel good to be right

[haiquye]

Let’s refer to the manga. If it’s 14 years ago that Kogome last saw her mum, then she has been here roughly 14 years. Moroha is 14, which means she got pregnant and delivered almost within the year she got back to Inuyasha.

And the twins were born around the same time.

That means, in the anime timeline, Rin was already pregnant in the first episode of Yashahime, the last chapter of manga Since Then , which happened half a year after Kogome came back, and 3.5 years after the defeat of Naraku.

Disgusting.
